Iraq so far isn't that bad. Mortar attacks happen daily. We don't worry too much about them though. They never hit anything. Life on Camp Cook(or Camp Taji, which ever you prefer to call it) is pretty not bad. We have running showers with hot water,porcelain toilets that flush, a dfac(dining facility) that can win culinary awards. Aside from the daily mortar/small arms fire/rpg attacks, we pretty much living the sweet life.

Iraq itself smells like crap. The weather has been getting warmer. Highs about mid 50s-60 and goes down to about low 40s at night. The scenery in Iraq is interesting to say the least. There is grass and trees here in Iraq. I was suprised to see them. Kuwait looked more like a desert then Iraq. I am awaiting my new camera in the mail. I'm really itching to start taking photos again.
